Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the front of the State Building under construction, 1920-1929. At center, an eleven-story Art Deco-style building is pictured, on a lot of flattened earth. The building itself appears complete, but the area surrounding it is still undeveloped. Three tall doorways stand at its center just to the left. A multi-lane highway is visible at right, extending into the city.
